That way, my friends and co-workers wouldn't even have to write down new contact info -- but I did hand out new business cards just in case. People still IM me every day, and they say they feel like I am there with them. On my end, I do prefer to be in my home office, but it's fantastic to keep in touch with my friends. I also keep in touch the old-fashioned way: we meet up for lunch or happy hour. Once I set up my translation blog, I sent the URL (http://translationtimes.blogspot.com) to many of my contacts so they could join the conversation.
